The Most loved Middle Eastern Food !! The Falafel Pita Sandwich
Warm pita bread, stuffed with crispy hot falafel balls, cool, crunchy diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers & lettuce drenched in Tahini sauce along with hummus and spicy sauce
HOW TO MAKE FALAFEL BULLETS?
Soak chickpeas for 24 hours. Cover them in plenty of water and add baking soda to help soften them as they soak. Make sure they look at least double in size as they soak. Drain very well.
TO Make mixture: Add chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, green chili, salt, paprika and cumin powder and 1 tsp of all - purpose flour to food processor and pulse a little bit at a time until the mixture is finely ground. I like to add some soaked whole mung beans (MOONG). Make sure the mixture is not too runny it needs to be thick
Refrigerate It’s Important. Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. The chilled mixture will hold together better, making it easier to form the falafel patties
You can either deep fry the bullets or bake them
HOW TO MAKE TAHINI?
Toast the white sesame seeds
Process the sesame seeds until crumbly
Add oil and mix it into a smooth runny cream
HOW TO MAKE HUMMUS?
In a blender add boiled chickpea, olive oil, sour cream, salt, pepper along with some tahini until everything is combined into a smooth and creamy
HOW TO MAKE SPICY SAUCE?
In a blender add Thai red chilies
Add handful of pine nuts
Salt, lemon
1 tomato
Blend until it’s a smooth sauce
SALAD:
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Lettuce
HOW TO ASSEMBLE:
Warm the pita bread and cut it into half’s
I like to mix hummus, tahini and red spicy sauce along with the salad
In the pocket apply some hummus, place the lettuce add the salad top it up with the falafel bullets drizzle spicy sauce if you like it spicy like me .. also, I love to add sour cream over it giving it a enhanced flavor to the sandwich or pita pockets.
TIPS :Now, if you are a Non- JAIN or Eat Onion & Garlic, You can add garlic in Hummus, Red spicy sauce and even in falafel bullets along with onion
